So I think I'm starting to like "bad" tone

It's this really trebly, "icepick" tone. Normally, I try to steer away from them. Nowadays, I find that I keep coming back to that tone.
I won't go into the "why" or my reasons for liking it. Can anyone relate?

"Bad" tone is "good" tone, unless there's "chorus" involved.

Then it becomes "great" tone.

Chorus on my amp is almost always on.
It's normally pretty subtle, but it adds a bit to my tone + is great for some swampy sounding arpeggios and stuff.
And yeah, I don't like "good" tones very much. I float between being really bassy and distorted (to the point where single notes from 14-21/22 fret sounds kinda like guitar pretending to be synth), or being really harsh and trebly and sounding like I would fit in perfectly with Bauhaus, Birthday Party, or one of Steve Albini's bands or something.

Unless it's the Chorus mode of a Uni Vibe that we're talking about

Maybe I shouldn't've mentioned the "C word".
